22nd March 2013 - Over 25cm of snow in Ponciau Wrexham & still snowing, Next day was over 16 inches.

Another of me playing the Compton electronic organ 'Cantata' model at Salem Church in Ponciau, Rhosllanerchrugog near Wrexham.
I am only an amateur and by no means a pro so wanted to point this out and hope you are still able to get the jist of the amazing skills of the John Compton Organ Company Ltd.
Im playing the welsh hymn 'I sing in the morning' to the tune 'Llys Aeron'. This gives an opportunity to show off the various different tone colours available on this organ including the effective Clarinet in the second verse.
The organ has both internal speakers and an external speaker of the Compton patent 'rotofon' type. In this video I am using the internal speakers only to contrast the other video I have made here.
These organs are fast becoming extinct with many churches replacing them with digital instruments etc. Modern technology is indeed appealing with its realistic sampled sounds but history is being lost as a result. Opportunities should be taken to see that these unique instruments are preserved for future generations to experience how technology worked in the pre digital era.
Many thanks to organist Gareth Williams for arranging me access to this instrument.
NOTE: this is purely my interest in order to make sure that these fine organs are archived forever and I do not make any monetary profit by this video being on youtube.

Me playing the organ at Salem Chapel in Ponciau, Rhossllanerchrugog near Wrexham, Denbighshire.
I am only an amateur and by no means a pro so wanted to point this out and hope you are still able to get the jist of the amazing skills of the John Compton Organ Company Ltd.
In the late 1960s, Compton introduced the 'Cantata' electrone model which was basically an upgrade to the 'CH2' which this replaced. At Salem the organ has both the standard internal speakers and also the Compton patent 'rotofon' speaker at the back of the church which on these models was an optional extra.
For this first video im playing the hymn 'I will sing the wondrous story' to the tune 'Calon Lan' in keeping with the Welsh spirit! In this video im using the external rotofon speaker.

Many thanks to organist Gareth Williams for allowing me access to this now rare model of Compton electrone organ.

I was not able to find a makers nameplate on the organ but the style of the woodwork around the console suggests the builder could have been Alexander Young & Sons of Manchester. The specification reads:

location on Google Map
Coordinates: 53°00′54″N 3°02′53″W / 53.015°N 3.048°W / 53.015; -3.048 Ponciau is a village within the community of Rhosllannerchrugog in the county borough of Wrexham, Wales. Ponciau is located close to the villages of Legacy, Pentre Bychan and Johnstown and is overlooked by Ruabon Mountain.
The Welsh word 'ponc' means bank or hillock and the village takes its name from the large number of spoil tips which formerly covered the area. This was corrupted into the anglicised name 'Ponkey' which is no longer used, except occasionally by locals.
The village of Ponciau grew up around opencast mining and houses were built, with little regard for planning, to house the workers. At Brynydd, close to the Royal Oak public house, was the former site of typical very basic, one room, terraced, workers' houses. Tin baths were kept to the rear of the houses for bathing.
Iron was also worked, with large furnaces in use at Furnace Bank.
Ponciau and Rhosllannerchrugog previously had over 150 public houses, although the majority of them have closed. The Colliers Arms, Horse & Jockey and Royal Oak (Built in 1853 by John and Mary Boyer) still remain. There was a school (Ysgol y Ponciau on School Lane) until July 2008 when it merged with two other schools to become Ysgol Maes Y Mynydd. The buildings on School Lane have now been demolished. The Post Office as seen in the picture of Bank Street closed down in 2008 and the Chip Shop (The Trawler Fish Bar on North Road) is also now closed. One of the main streets in Ponciau is Chapel Street which once contained a large number of nonconformist chapels, reflecting the importance of religion in the village in former times. Several chapels, such as Bethel Calvinistic Methodist Chapel still exist, but like the public houses, the majority have now closed.

wn.com/I Will Sing The Wondrous Story Salem Congregational Chapel, Ponciau, Wrexham (Compton Organ)
Me playing the organ at Salem Chapel in Ponciau, Rhossllanerchrugog near Wrexham, Denbighshire.
I am only an amateur and by no means a pro so wanted to point this out and hope you are still able to get the jist of the amazing skills of the John Compton Organ Company Ltd.
In the late 1960s, Compton introduced the 'Cantata' electrone model which was basically an upgrade to the 'CH2' which this replaced. At Salem the organ has both the standard internal speakers and also the Compton patent 'rotofon' speaker at the back of the church which on these models was an optional extra.
For this first video im playing the hymn 'I will sing the wondrous story' to the tune 'Calon Lan' in keeping with the Welsh spirit! In this video im using the external rotofon speaker.
These organs are fast becoming extinct with many churches replacing them with digital instruments etc. Modern technology is indeed appealing with its realistic sampled sounds but history is being lost as a result. Opportunities should be taken to see that these unique instruments are preserved for future generations to experience how technology worked in the pre digital era.
Many thanks to organist Gareth Williams for allowing me access to this now rare model of Compton electrone organ.
For more information on the John Compton Organ Company Ltd and to see me play other Compton organs, please click on the following link for my site dedicated to the John Compton Organ Company Ltd:

REQUEST: I am always on the lookout for Compton organs to play - particularly electrones - so if you know of any churches which still have these then please do let me know. I will happily give a donation or pay any applicable room hire charge.

Me playing the organ at Mynydd Seion Independant Welsh Congregational Chapel in Ponciau, Rhosllanerchrugog near Wrexham, Denbighshire.
I was not able to find a makers nameplate on the organ but the style of the woodwork around the console suggests the builder could have been Alexander Young & Sons of Manchester. The specification reads:
PEDAL
Bourdon 16'
GREAT
Open Diapason 8'
Stopped Diapason 8'
Dulciana 8'
Principal 4'
Wald Flute 4'
Tremulant
SWELL
Open Diapason 8'
Lieblich Gedact 8'

COUPLERS

Being in Wales some Welsh hymn tunes was the order of the day so im playing 'In heavenly love abiding' to the tune 'Penlan' which shows off the main tone colours available on the organ.
Many thanks to Gareth Williams for arranging me access to this fine instrument.

I'm Alone Now
Vs 1:
It really hurts to say this, yes it does.
But after a while sweet love just ain't enough.
So many settle for less just because.
Maybe I'm more in love with what it was.
But wat gets so confusing baby, You and Me.
It's been so much confusion lately.
You couldn't see that you were losing me.
Chorus:
Well, I'm alone now, but I ain't lonely.
I'm on my own now, but I ain't the only.
Honestly, I'm fine,
I'll take this time to concentrate on me.
And I got possibility to keep me company.
Vs.2:
Won't you just assume he doesn't care.
To internalize it all just isn't fair.
So I address the problem so that he's aware.
But I still feel all alone even when he's there.
Maybe we can fix it baby, I know we can.
If I make you miss it baby, Then maybe you'll understand.
Chorus
